Is this saw any good?

And if so is the price about right?

If the power is correct in the add it looks like the lower output equivalent to the Dolmar ps 420 sc. The early 420 was 2.7 ish HP.

Thanks but that means not a deal to me😁😁 are you saying I should get a dolmar for similar money?

Its a semi pro saw made by Dolmar for Makita as the parent company so its not a lower market end saw. Some like the black and orange of the Dolmar brand and some don't mind the Makita colours . The Dolmar Ps 420 sc you would get from Shavey (Ajs saws ) is a newer model with a tad more power. Good priced saw the one you have looked at so pays your money .......

It says it has a cat in the exhaust, so take that out and hey presto, more power!

Ok I think I will have a trip down there in the morning and see if there is one.

Thanks all

Have a look at the back of the saw near the purge button the year of manufactor will be there a great deal though

Thanks I will have a look at that.

I presume I would be able to get parts for it?

Most parts are available for the DCS models OEM coils and cylinder & Pistons are the 1st things usualy to be obsoleted , if you could grab a photo of the information plate I would like too see if it's a 2009 model or the later one during changeover too EA models

My luck says they will be sold out👎
